What if all the wackiest military R&D projects of the 20th century actually worked?

Europe is engulfed by war, and you are a government official overseeing military research. To be successful, you need to accept the proposals that will most effectively counter the strategies employed by the enemy, and put them to use in the field. Get prepared for rock-paper-scissors mind games in a game populated by 18 research projects based on actual history.

The game is best played with two players (in hot seat mode). You can also play against a simple AI opponent. PC or tablet recommended.

It seems really nice and polished in terms of art, but it seems I can't do anything besides research? and the research itself does not always show possibile choice. Or is it only my computer playing tricks?

Simple but very fun to play. The music is great and the graphics and interface are nice.

This is a really cool game. I love the theme! I knew about most of this strange ideas so it was really fun to see a game about them. Great job!

nonetheless: You should be able to drag the armies to the field using mouse or touch once the combat animations have completed. It works for me at least on Chrome, Firefox and IE11 on Windows, and Chrome on Android. Couldn't test on Mac or iOS unfortunately.

Cool game. The music is really fitting! It took me a while to figure out that I had to drag my researched units onto the map. Also in Safari I get some graphics bugs, like missing images and wrong font sizes. In chrome it works fine. I stopped playing after a while, because I couldn't see any progression in the game.
Still, a cool entry!

Very polished graphics and music, but would be good to have some sounds for interactions too. A little confusing at first, but once I realised I'd clicked the wrong button and was actually playing both sides, I restarted and it was all much clearer!

Excellent game! Feels very complete! :) I like the research that went into every weapon.

Love the game's format, mood and audio. The real-life wikipedia links are a nice touch. :-) Would like to see a post-comp of this that takes it further.

The art is good , it was surprising to know that these strategies have really a background in history !
I would have loved I can reclaim my lands :(
Loved it !
